B.J Rosenberg News

The Philadelphia Phillies shoot for a series win over the Miami Marlins when the NL East foes clash Wednesday night.

A 10-0 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Bronson Arroyo, who pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings, kept the Phillies from pulling within a game of .500 . The same couldn't be said for a bullpen that allowed six runs in three innings and an offense that was shut out for the sixth time in just the 43rd game of the season.

Mike Adams had hopes of pitching on Sunday. It certainly doesn't sound now like that's going to happen.

The league has expanded all the way up to five teams. Hopefully this does not spread the talent too thin I don't cover these here since 99% of the players on the roster are going to be forgotten by tomorrow, but last summer's big signings, pitchers Jose Castillo and Jose Mujica and catcher David Rodriguez are listed on the roster.

Highlight: B.J. Rosenberg pitched seven shutout innings and Jake Diekman pitched a perfect ninth for his third save to preserve Lehigh Valley's 6-4 win over Durham Sunday night in North Carolina.

Saturday was a good day not only for the Phillies, but their minor league teams as well as all four won their respective games.

Recently-demoted catcher Humberto Quintero hit a solo home run in a two-run second inning for Lehigh Valley.

Louisville came through in the pinch to bring the IronPigs' four-game winning streak to a halt Tuesday night at Coca-Cola Park.

ALTHOUGH THE Phillies have yet to announce who will join their rotation when they place Roy Halladay on the disabled list, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.

Home has been anything but sweet to IronPigs starting pitchers this season - or to the IronPigs overall, for that matter.

Notable: Josh Harrison scored three runs, one on a straight steal of home, and knocked in a run to lead Indianapolis to a 5-1 win over the sliding IronPigs on Friday night at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
